Review the following case study and discuss the questions that follow. 

JH is a 12-year-old boy diagnosed several months ago with nephrosis following postinfectious glomerulonephritis secondary to an episode of pneumococcal pneumonia. He has been coming to the clinic to have his condition monitored and therapies adjusted as needed. At his latest clinic visit, a decrease in urine output, increasing lethargy, hyperventilation, and generalized edema are noted. Trace amounts of protein are detected in JH’s urine by dipstick. Blood is drawn for laboratory analysis, and the results are as follows:
 pH = 7.36 
PaCO2 = 33 mm Hg 
PaO2 = 100 mm Hg 
HCO3 – = 18 mEq/L 
Hct = 30% 
Na+ = 130 mEq/L 
K+ = 5.4 mEq/L 
BUN = 58 mg/dl 
creatinine = 3.9 mg/dl 
albumin = 2.0 g/dl

1. How would a pneumococcal infection lead to glomerulonephritis? How can glomerulonephritis result in nephrosis?
2. Use JH’s laboratory values to determine if he is still experiencing nephrosis or if his condition is progressing to renal failure.
3. What additional physical or laboratory findings would be helpful in determining JH’s degree of renal impairment?
4. How will JH’s therapy change if his condition has progressed from nephrosis to uremia?

You have been working on a busy orthopedic unit for 6 months. The average patient length of stay in the unit is 4 to 7 days. The program from which you have graduated has subsequently graduated a new class, and three of the new graduates are coming to work on your unit. The nurse manager has told you that she is counting on you to “demonstrate leadership and assist these new nurses to adapt to the work environment.”

Based on the behaviors of an effective leader found in this chapter, how will you assist your new colleagues?

1. What are the differences between leadership and followership? 2. Explain the necessity for developing self as an effective follower. 3. Describe a situation in which a person acted as a leader. Explain how you concluded that the person was a leader. 4. Review the different leadership theories discussed in this chapter. Which ones appeal to you as a guide for your future leadership development, and why? Which ones might be more difficult to apply in your life, and why?  5. Have the students identify three goals for the next year that will assist you in becoming a more effective follower. 6. Review with the class the qualities of effective leaders discussed in this chapter. 7. Develop a 1- to 2-year leadership plan applying the qualities of effective leaders. 8. Identify these qualities in leaders that you known. What specific situations have you observed where these leaders have been effective and why? a) -Identify specific situations.9- You have been working on a busy orthopedic unit for 6 months.

Recruiting Participants for Your EBP Proposal.

For this assignment, write the Sample Section of your EBP Project Proposal (see attached EBP Project Proposal) in a Word document.

Here is a Week 8 Sample Section Example (Word) of what the sample section can look like.

Sample Section Guidelines

This section covers your planned recruitment and ethical considerations for your future participants. It should take up about two to three pages. The purpose is to tell the reader what your recruitment plan is for the study. You should have subheadings throughout this section of the paper.

In this section, write about the following:

1. Sample: Cover the following points in no more than two paragraphs each:

– How subjects will be recruited

– What the inclusion criteria will be (for more expansion, you may add the exclusion criteria to show what was consciously eliminated)

– The type of sample (random, purposive, convenience, etc.)

– The proposed sample size and rationale for this choice

– The selection method (random table of numbers, flip a coin, etc.— this depends on the type of study)

Although this subsection should cover all these items, it may be written in a narrative style.

2. Setting: Keeping in mind that this is a proposed setting, and it should not be recognizable for confidentiality and privacy reasons. It is a broad view of the setting. For example:

The proposed setting for this study is a large teaching hospital in the northeast. The actual place where the study would be carried out is in the three medical–surgical units in this hospital. Each unit has a bed capacity of 25–30 beds with occupancy rates of 92% to 95%. The study will take place in a private conference room.

Or, if a mailed questionnaire or survey is to be used:

The proposed setting for data collection will be by mailing the questionnaire to the homes of the subjects. The researcher would be mailing the questionnaires from home with a return-addressed, stamped envelope.

3. Informed Consent and Ethical Considerations: Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval will be obtained. The researcher will submit an application and proposal to the Regis College IRB first. After approval from Regis College, the institution where the study will take place usually requires IRB approval as well. The request or application may be one of three types:

– Exempt from review: This is for studies with no intervention or may be just for a medical record review.

– Expedited review: This is for minimal risk to subjects—physical or psychological.

– Complete institutional review: This is for studies that may pose a risk to subjects.

Please address means of protecting human subjects, such as the use of pseudonyms for qualitative studies and the use of numbers to identify subjects in quantitative studies. Data storage must be addressed. Make certain that identifying data (informed consent document) is maintained in a locked file separate from de-identified data (demographics, surveys, transcripts) that also will be maintained in a locked file in the researcher’s locked office.
